Amateur pilot and builder
So, I've been in love with the Gamma since I was a kid. One of my most prized possessions as a child was the Budweiser sponsored air racer piggy bank I had. Looked exactly like this one I found on Google images.
Such a beautiful plane in my opinion. And it reminds me of my childhood. So, why not design and build one, right? I started to do so and then I found wilsonman's Forum Build-Off Thread. What would make a better submission from me than my Northorp Gamma? I haven't gotten enough progress done on it to disqualify it so that's what I'm doing.
1/16 Scale
Length: 605mm
Wingspan: 995mm
I have already started the build but as the rules state, I am eligible since I haven't yet covered it. Since I'm not the greatest RC pilot I'll probably have someone else test fly it for me.
Anyways, here's what I got so far. Original progress can be seen in my design/build thread here.
I think I will set it up with my Park 300 I have laying around. Hopefully it will fly well. I have a feeling that the elevator is a bit undersized.
